Dagmar Ball

Dagmar Ball is a BACP counsellor who has practised for seven years in the United Kingdom. She offers person-centred, humanistic care and aims to create a warm, respectful space for people beginning therapy. Her approach is straightforward and supportive, and she encourages clients to discover their own answers while offering guidance along the way.

Dagmar has worked with people aged 11 and over on a wide range of difficulties. These include depression, anxiety, ADHD and autism, relationship and intimacy-related issues, grief, and challenges linked to trauma and abuse. She has experience supporting those affected by physical trauma, sexual trauma, domestic and financial abuse, and childhood harm.

Her style is approachable and flexible. She says she will tailor sessions to each person's needs and sometimes uses creative or outside-the-box ideas to help progress. She also describes herself as willing to challenge unhelpful thought patterns when that is helpful for the client.

Dagmar draws on several therapeutic methods, including client-centred work, trauma-focused approaches and EMDR where appropriate. She aims to help people reduce distress, manage life changes, and build stronger coping skills. The overall emphasis is on practical steps and steady emotional recovery.

People who want a calm, compassionate counsellor who listens and guides may find her style helpful. If a reader is considering therapy for issues such as stress, addiction, low self-esteem, or attachment concerns, Dagmar may be a counsellor to consider.

Approaches that inform online work

Dagmar uses client-centred work to prioritise your experience and build a trusting relationship. This approach focuses on listening closely, reflecting what you say, and helping you find your own solutions; it is often used for general distress, low mood and self-esteem concerns.

She also uses Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) to address memories and symptoms linked to traumatic events. EMDR involves guided attention and processing techniques that can reduce the emotional intensity of distressing memories and support trauma recovery.

Finding the right method is part of the therapy process. Dagmar will work collaboratively to decide which approach fits your needs and goals. She discusses options openly and adjusts methods over time as your situation changes.

Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life, for example by reducing travel time or allowing a shorter check-in when schedules are tight. Because the biography does not list specific session formats, confirm the available options before booking. Registered or accredited professionals and therapists often adapt techniques such as EMDR and client-centred work to an online setting, helping people to continue care from different locations without changing the focus of therapy.
